Bengaluru will witness a unique celestial event known as Zero Shadow Day on August 18. This extraordinary phenomenon last occurred on April 25 in the city.
During this occurrence, the sun reaches its peak elevation in the sky, causing objects and individuals to cast no shadows.
This remarkable celestial event transpires twice a year within locations ranging from +23.5 to -23.5 degrees latitude.
During a Zero Shadow Day, the sun is positioned directly overhead, resulting in the absence of shadows on the Earth's surface.
The occurrence causes the sun to reach its zenith in the sky, leading to a significant reduction in the length of shadows, rendering them practically invisible.
This phenomenon will appear precisely at noon when the sun will be directly overhead.
